Some items that so many people touch daily help spread the potentially deadly coronavirus. As reported MedikForum.ru, Express published a list of objects that spread the coronavirus after its particles settle on them.
The new virus is not transmitted predominantly by air - pathogens spread with moisture particles from the infected organism and settle on the surfaces surrounding people. Most of us touch some of them daily.
The published list includes:
Money. Their ability to transmit the disease was announced at WHO. Organization experts advise people to wash their hands thoroughly after contact with banknotes, do not touch their faces.
Doorknobs. Often, not touching them daily in public places is impossible. Try to do this through wipes, do not forget to wash your hands. It is also helpful to remember when and where you touched the door handles.

Cell phones. Emily Martin, associate professor at the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, said this item is especially dirty and dangerous in terms of the potential spread of viruses, because people do not consider it necessary to clean their hands before picking up the phone.
General office phones - also on this list.
